Hey @johnmu.com this is one of my pages that got link spammed. I disavowed. I can stand tall and affirm that I don't get involved in this kind of thing, yet I have to take this hit to my traffic.
Will the page ever recover?
Is there some kind of limiter of dampener on my pages until these clear?

@methode.bsky.social Why would we start buying hundreds of backlinks when the page worked "with little to no links" achieving these traffic peaks?
A: we didn't, livelihoods torn apart by spam!
You're so adamant negative SEO does not work, so Google clearly attributes these links to our site!

Has anyone blogged on Shopify?
I need to migrate a Magento blog to Shopify, but first question is what platform?
✅Needs to be seamless, low maintenance, SEO friendly, fully integrated
❌Not Wordpress
🤔Shopify own blog is viable if you've used it and can recommend

All our competitors are dropping, as they are hit with the same negative link attacks
We're the only ones with any current recovery, despite being hit over and over again, we've managed to create some upturn with disavows

Its been unchanged for 2yrs, live for 15+
Negative SEO turns up... Google: "Bye Bye Page"

Both times traffic starts to recover after a few weeks. But the destruction goes on behind the scenes as more negative links arrive. Not even the 3rd party tools or Google Search Console Links can keep up

In less then 30 days spammers were able to take down high ranking pages.... and as you can see, it is taking MONTHS to recover even when the links were disavowed as soon as caught

I rarely tag all Google reps. BUT link spammers are destroying businesses in my niche. It's real & they're succeeding. You can't go public with this, they come after you. My own site has been attacked! Can someone reach out?

85 days now since this hacked site had 404'd these URLs
But still ranks for Casino Queries - is this the new normal?

Its probably the spam links being pumped in keeping the keywords active?

A competitor of mine... a good site, employing good people, being killed by SPAM links that Google can't handle.
So sad to see this
@searchliaison.bsky.social
Meanwhile the SERPs are full or parasite domains!

I'm now 100% safe in the knowledge that bots just do not understand context or rational. That's why they want to snoop on our devices to blend in things like activity data, audiences etc
